Only one?
Olivia grew thoughtful upon hearing this.
It wasn't hard to infer from Sybil's words that the Church had more Protagonists of the Era. It was just that, excluding herself, only one other person was a mid-level class rank transcendent. The rest were likely high-level class rank transcendents.
After all, it was difficult for low-level class rank transcendents to be considered Protagonists of the Era.
As Olivia continued her conversation with Sybil, she mentally queried the magic mirror for more information.
Possessing information on the entire Imperial Capital of Kaliron, the magic mirror naturally had a sufficient understanding of the Protagonists of the Era.
As Olivia asked, the relevant information quickly surfaced in her mind.
Guinevere Frost!
This was the other existence within the Church who was recognized as a Protagonist of the Era while still being a mid-level class rank transcendent.
Unlike Olivia, Guinevere did not follow the Church's standard transcendent path.
However, Guinevere had progressed further, having already advanced her class rank to the level of a Skywalker.
Olivia even discovered an interesting detail.
Guinevere happened to be Melanie's captain.
Once Melanie advanced from a Transcender to a Domainist, she stopped leading her own squad and chose to join a stronger Church transcendent squad as a member to take on more difficult and dangerous missions.
The team Melanie joined at that time was Guinevere's.
...
A short while later, having finished her chat with Sybil, Olivia stepped out of the office.
Inside the Morning Light Cathedral, many members of the clergy were coming and going, making the scene very lively.
Although the Frederick family had been completely taken down, some remnants still needed to be investigated.
For instance, certain nobles who had been deeply involved with the Frederick family or the Rose Legion required thorough background checks.
From time to time, someone would be found problematic and subsequently hauled into the cathedral.
These arrested individuals were inevitably unwilling to accept their fate; some begged for mercy, some shouted curses, and others wept, filling the cathedral with a cacophony of voices.
Suddenly, a voice drifted over: "Stella? Is that you, Stella?"
Olivia froze for a moment upon hearing the voice, then followed the sound. Her expression became quite colorful when she saw the source.
Not far away, a person was being escorted forward by two members of the clergy.
Though the person looked quite disheveled at the moment, they were still very familiar to Olivia.
This person was none other than Esme!
"Stella, it really is you! Why are you wearing a nun's habit? You..."
Esme looked at Olivia, wanting to say something, but she was at a loss for words, stammering in confusion.
The two clergy members escorting Esme immediately showed respectful expressions and greeted Olivia when they saw her.
This was because the nun's habit Olivia wore bore the insignia of an oracle nun.
Such a status gave her a pivotal position within the Church. Most clergy members had to greet her upon seeing her.
Seeing Esme, Olivia smiled slightly. "I am not Stella; my name is Olivia Melianne. As you can see, I am a nun of the Church."
"That's impossible!" Esme's emotions were incredibly agitated. "You are Stella, the Stella from the Elijah Chamber of Commerce. You're an elemental mage and one of our own from the Rose Legion."
Olivia laughed. "Ms. Esme, there's no need to be so worked up. I did indeed join the Rose Legion under the name Stella, but that was merely my mission as an undercover agent.
"In fact, I completed my mission quite well, wouldn't you agree?
"Now that the Rose Legion has been wiped out, how much credit do you think I claim for it?"
Esme felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her pupils dilated completely.
She never could have imagined that the Miss Stella she had favored so much was actually an undercover agent sent by the Church to the Rose Legion.
As for exactly how much effort this mole had put into the destruction of the Rose Legion, she didn't even dare to think about it.
Her lips trembled and her face turned exceptionally pale. She looked at Olivia, unable to find any words to say for a long time.
Olivia didn't want to reminisce with Esme for long, so she said to the two escorting clergy members, "Take her away and give her the arrangements she deserves."
"Yes, Sister Olivia."
The two clergy members immediately led Esme away.
To Olivia, this event was nothing more than a minor interlude.
She walked around the Morning Light Cathedral for a bit longer before leaving.
The Church was still busy, but no missions were being assigned to her, which made her realize her current special status.
It wasn't like before. Back when the Church was busy, she would barely finish one mission before another arrived.
But now, it was as if she had become some sort of strategic weapon; it seemed they wouldn't have her act unless it was a critical moment.
This gave Olivia a bit of leisure time, so she decided to take a stroll through the streets.
Eventually, she arrived in the North District.
Looking up, Olivia could clearly see a massive city floating there—Aisrether City.
In a short amount of time, many people had already purchased property rights in Aisrether City and moved in.
As for the travel between Aisrether City and the North District, it was handled through teleportation arrays. One only needed to pay a certain amount of Belu to teleport back and forth.
Olivia thought for a moment and then approached the location of the teleportation array.
However, her arrival didn't require the payment of Belu. This was a perk for the Church's clergy; any member of the clergy could use the teleportation arrays for free.
It was clear that the Aisrether family understood exactly who had given them everything they owned. They were as polite as could be toward the Church's deacons.
After all, if the Church could make the Frederick family vanish from the stage of history with a single thought, they could do the same to the Aisrether family.
With a flash of teleportation, Olivia arrived in Aisrether City, standing in the center of a plaza.
The dense patterns beneath her feet formed the teleportation array.
She looked up; this vast city was still relatively quiet. Although some people had bought property and even moved in, they were still a small minority.
Most areas appeared empty and silent, with few figures walking along the streets.
Just as Olivia's gaze swept over her surroundings, she noticed the teleportation array behind her light up. Immediately after, another group of people teleported in.
"Excuse me, are you Sister Olivia up ahead?" one of the newly arrived people shouted immediately.
